Adnan Masood, a Machine Learning Phd's musings on Life, Technology, Research & Development
There is an excellent series of video tutorials by Mathematical Monk described as "Videos about math, at the graduate level or upper-level undergraduate.". Unlike the usual classroom style videos, the tutorials are recorded as screencasts with the teacher trying to explain concepts by writing down examples and proving theorems while narrating the steps. Quite hands…
Bayesian Statistics and Regularization Watch it on Academic Earth Bayesian Statistics and Regularization, Online Learning, Advice for Applying Machine Learning Algorithms, Debugging/fixing Learning Algorithms, Diagnostics for Bias & Variance, Optimization Algorithm Diagnostics, Diagnostic Example - Autonomous Helicopter, Error Analysis, Getting Started on a Learning Problem Reasoning with Bayes Networks
Some of my "light" summer readings for dissertation work. Bayesian Artificial Intelligence, Second Edition by Kevin B. Korb , Ann E. Nicholson Causality: Models, Reasoning and Inference by Judea Pearl Probabilistic Graphical Models: Principles and Techniques by Daphne Koller , Nir Friedman Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher M. Bishop Bayesian Networks:…
Infer.NET is a framework developed by Microsoft research for running Bayesian inference in graphical models and for probabilistic programming. Along with tutorials and examples, Infer.NET 2.4 beta 2 which was recently made avaialble (17th Dec 2010) can be downloaded from here. In this example we explore the similar concept as described in the infer.net bayes point machine tutorial…
Version 2.2 of Aspect.NET - aspect-oriented programming toolkit for the .NET platform, integrated to Visual Studio has been released. Aspect.NET is developed at St. Petersburg University under the supervision of Professor Vladimir O. Safonov. The new feature of Aspect.NET 2.2 is in support of the second language - Visual Basic (alongside with C#) as aspect…
Rosalva Eulogia Gallardo is a PhD student in the Department of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science @ UCI. One of the areas of Rosalva's research interests is Code search and retrieval on the Web and how developers use it. "Developers are typically searching for code to reuse as-is on a…
Are you A) a Scientist/researcher/student/ looking for the right enterprise platform for your next big scientific project? B) a developer/architect who wants to learn cloud computing with windows Azure and would like to go beyond the Hello World Apps? C) an hobbyist interested in Stanford's Folding@home distributed computing project and see it's implementation D)…
Here is a short step by step guide on how to get your WCF service to perform Message and Transport level security over SSL with user name and password. I ran into this recently and thought should document it along with source code to provide reference for the rest of us. 1. If your development…
A lot has been said about the FizzBuzz programming test used in interviews. It's a decent litmus test measure of testing a few key capabilities in a developer i.e. (a) knowledge of programming constructs (iterations/conditionals) (b) algorithm / logic and (c) thinking process The problem statement goes as follows. Write a program that prints the…
These CMU guys did the poll on P=?NP and totally forgot to call me. May be the letter is in the mail but I am going to go out on a limb here and stating that it's going to be...wait for it There, I said it! P=NP Let's go all Nostradamus here. I know I…
